Tre Valli Varesine

Tre Valli Varesine is one of the historic classics of Italian cycling, first contested in 1919 and centred on Varese in northern Lombardy. Its demanding circuits wind through the lake-dotted foothills of the Prealps, where short climbs, technical descents and constantly changing gradients create terrain suited to aggressive racing.

Around the Peloton explores Tre Valli Varesine through the distinctive territory surrounding Varese, from glacial lakes and wooded hills to historic villas and the UNESCO-listed Sacro Monte. The race reveals a corner of Lombardy where Alpine geography, architecture and more than a century of cycling tradition have developed side by side.
